Turner's recording career was brief, but his lone album has become highly collectable for its resemblance to the style of his mentor.
In 1966, Turner met Hendrix while he was in Brooklyn, and the two became friends when they realized their mutual passion for the electric guitar.
All but one regarded Turner's statements as mere lies, the one believing him being Richard Lloyd, later the guitarist of the band, Television.
[5] In 1972, Tom Wilson pursued the opportunity to record the band for their debut album on the Phillips label.
Turner's former bandmates reappeared in groups including The Knack, The Motels, Burning Sensations, and The New York Dolls.
[9] Lloyd, in 2009, produced a tribute album called The Jamie Neverts Story in memoriam to Turner and Hendrix.
